According to her, failure to address such incidents could undermine public confidence in the nation’s electoral and security systems.

The senator emphasised “That all political actors, regardless of affiliation, deserve protection and the freedom to engage with citizens without fear of intimidation or harm”.

This is as Natasha urged calm among citizens while authorities carry out investigations, reaffirming the need for unity and respect for democratic values.
